A US vs. Russia scenario, in which each party must overlook an undisclosed ravine. Good chemistry, solid mystery & better than it had any right to be for a Valentine’s streamer dump! 

Scharfman's directorial debut can feel a little clunky at times. While the fantasy aspects mix well with the bloody horror and dark comedy. The story was too predictable. The satirical commentary is clever, though too on the nose. The cinematography is good, the colour palette vibrant, while the tone is dark, though balanced. The music mixes fantasy and horror well, sounding otherworldly. Death of a Unicorn earns is decent.

The vast planes of African wilderness, a rogue lion & Idris Elba fighting for his life. On paper a recipe for success, what could go wrong?
